The Veils - Asphodels Lyrics

The Veils Lyrics

"Asphodels"

Well, through the wood I walked
And barely made my way
Before I heard the muffled words
That led me so astray
There I lay down and died
And set my spirit free
Well, to dive for pearls in the underworld
Was all was left for me

So through the wood I walked
And left this world behind
I went down that track and could not look back
For fear of what I'd find
When my soul arrived
It looked just like they said
With the ringing bells and the asphodels
In the valley of the dead

What for my love now
And what for me, do tell
Well, all memory fades in the everglades
And I guess that's just as well
